Norway to go all in

The Norwegian's have enjoyed an excellent run in Group 3 of the Nations League and currently sit top with 10 points in 4 games. Bulgaria also have 10 points but a +2 goal difference compared to Norway who have +3. This group will likely be decided by goal difference, so it's up to Norway to go all out.

Betting tips

Put simply, it will be a race to score the most goals and concede the least for the Group leaders Norway and Bulgaria. Bulgaria are favourites to win their match at home against Slovenia, and so Norway are going to have to go all out in Cyprus, a Cyprus that has nothing to play for.

Norway have traditionally had it easy against Cyprus. They won their home game 2-0 and beat them in 2013 when they had last played each other. On Monday evening Norway will most likely beat a demotivated Cyprus - anything other than this would be a major upset. Norway were unlucky to draw with Slovenia in their recent game that ended 1-1. The were completely dominant in the game with 62% of possession, 8 corners and 13 shots but they still drew the game. The Norwegians will be determined to not let this happen again. One possible disadvantage for Norway is that they may not have their big star Joshua King fit for the game. He wasn't available for the game against Slovenia a few days ago and has been named as a doubt for this match; perhaps he will still make an appearance as a substitute. Otherwise it looks like both Elyonoussi and in-form Stefan Johansen are more than ready to take up the goal scoring mantle.

Norway have this group in their own hands. Bulgaria will most likely win their match with a couple of goals, so Norway can't settle for a 1-0 win. For this match I will go for a combination of, a Norway win and over 1.5 goals in the match.
